What is Software as a Service?

SaaS isn’t a new concept, in fact, you’re using it right now to read this definition.

SaaS is an alternate way of accessing software from traditional based methods, such as disks and local installations, by using the Internet instead.

If the application that you’re accessing isn’t stored locally, for example on your phone or laptop, and is accessed through the Internet, then you’re using SaaS technology.

A few well-known examples of SaaS applications include Netflix, Facebook and Spotify, but there’s really no limit to the types of software that can be hosted and delivered through the cloud. (Related blog – what is the cloud?)

SaaS applications are not just limited to personal use, businesses are taking advantage of hosted software, using accounting, performance monitoring software solutions and much more.

This method of software delivery is one of the fastest growing divisions of cloud technology, with both end users and businesses driving the change.
